Sex of baby

I had blood work done 2 weeks ago and they told me that the blood they were taking can determine the sex of baby. Of course i didn't believe it myself. Has anybody had that same experience and were your results accurate? So, this past Wednesday i get a call from the doctor's office for the results of my blood work. Everything looked good of course my iron is low tho. I guess i have to do something about that. Then she asked if wanted to know the sex of the baby, i said no at first because I wasnt ready and i wanted my boyfriend to kno as well. So, i called the doctor back to get the results........(drum roll please) We are having a girl!!!!! We were hoping for a boy but either way we are both happy no matter the sex of the baby. This is our first child as well.

Congrats on your baby girl! Yes, it isn't designed to determine the sex of the baby, but it does. It used to be called Harmony, a few days ago the name was changed to Next Gen. I got my blood drawn on Friday, so we will know in two weeks' time.

Oh ok, i never knew that. I guess i have to do some research on that. Do u know how accurate it is? Congratulations on your bundle. I know whatever the sex is your goin to be very happy.

Congrats...so happy for u. I just had the test done yesterday so now in the 2wk wait. Almost feels like after my iui ,) I am really hoping for good results and the sex is a bonus. I told them nit to tell me over the phone for the sex. It is amazing they can do all if this with such a less invasive test than the amneocentisis
